Can you use these with citronella oil?

yes! just soak the cord under the wick holder well and let it soak up through the wick holder...it takes awhile as the ceramic holder is very tight on the wick (and also makes it hard to pull more wick up as it burns down and trim.) Once it absorbs the liquid it burns great. Do remember not to burn citronella indoors.

Yes, we have used them in lamp oil and citronella oil. We did have trouble with the oil making the wick so slippery that it would fall into the bottle. We have since replace with a different style wick

It doesn't specify but I have. It hasn't seemed to make a difference so far.

I don't know that exactly. What I can tell you is that paraffin is meant to burn indoors (mainly because it doesn't smoke nor have any odor), while citronella is meant for the outdoors only (due to smell and smoke). I've only used these indoors, so far, but they tend not to have a super-big flame, so I'm not sure that they would work well in an outdoor setting.

The plastic housing would cause the oils to degrade. I've always wished they would be compatible too! You can mix them with a small amount of water in a dark glass spray bottle and manually diffuse into the room (even water will degrade the oils , so mix in small batches for quicker use)

Yes, but you need to use a carrier oil, like jojoba, almond, avocado or sunflower oil.

Absolutely! I mix them all the time depending on what smells I'm going for and what energy I want to create. These oils are the best! So amazing

I'm not sure. I've never tried to use essential oils. You might be able to put a few drops in the water, but I would check with the manufacturer first.

Hi, I use tweezers, but I don't know that it should be used for citronella. :)

Yes. What you do is mix them with a little vodka and refrigerate it cor two days as it says in the information insert that comes with the oils.

You can only use pure 100% plant oil in these or you will gum up the diffuser that's why is shutting off on you ???use doterra oils

Hi Sarah, Citrus oils can be used under the following conditions: - The inside of the unit (especially the diffuser disc, and around it) are cleaned up shortly after usage with a mild soap & water solution within 24 hours. - Otherwise, if you'd like to use citrus oils frequently, we highly suggest using it as blended with other types of oils. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you! Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

If all you are going to do is discard the grease and not use it for further cooking, there is no reason you can't mix them. However, if you are going to use them for cooking, I wouldn't mix bacon grease with canola oil, for example, for deep frying.

I use Thieves Essential Oil in mine. I would think that a citrus oil would be fine. Oil is oil.....don't know if that helps.

Hello Alberto! Indeed, you absolutely can. I have used them for precisely that. Using a miniature crock pot and a cheap digital cooking thermometer, I take the ground up calendula and olive oil and heat it up to about 150 to 175 degrees and let it infuse for about 24 to 48 hours. Even ten or twelve hours is pretty great with this calendula. I then strain with cheese cloth or pantyhose material and I have a very nice calendula infused olive oil. They need to be ground up well first, particularly because these are the whole flower, including some stem material and full flower heads, not just leaves (which is what I prefer). Anyhow, a few quick, short bursts in my spice grinder takes care of that, and then into the crock pot they go! Makes a very nice herbalized oil which can be used as is, or mixed into your own lotion. Simply awesome and very effective medicinally. Hope that helps. Happy Infusing! James G.

Yes you can but not alone. You would add the essential oil to a base oil. I believe there are recipes on line.

yes they can be used with or without oil. RPM (surface feet per minute) and feed rates are critical to tool life too.

We use oil blends that have citrus in them and it works totally fine. We've not had any problems!

You can if you want but I believe it would be unsanitary and unhealthy. It might be better to use a smaller amount and add oil and throw away the remainder.
